The Rock’s daughter Simone Johnson makes history as the youngest ever WWE signee

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s daughter is following in her father’s footsteps and has become the youngest ever WWE signee.

During a virtual conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Johnson revealed that his daughter Simone aged 18 has signed a contract with WWE, the professional wrestling organization where he worked before transitioning into acting.

“She signed her contract with the WWE, it just blows my mind,” said Johnson, 48. “First of all, I mean, what an honor that my daughter wants to follow in my footsteps. But, more importantly, ‘follow in my footsteps’ sounds cliché, but she actually wants to blaze her own path, which is just so important. She wound up being the youngest signee in the history of the company.”

Simone is the first ever 4th generation WWE signee and also the youngest. The ‘Jumanji’ star went on to explain that it was a long time coming, Simone had been working toward it since she was just 16.

“She was working her ass off. Quietly, under the radar, in the ring, getting thrown around, and all the bumps and bruises that go with pro wrestling,” Johnson explained. “She hung in there. I’m very, very proud of her.”


Not only is Simone following in her father’s footsteps, but her grandfather Rocky Johnson and great-grandfather Peter Maivia also were professional wrestlers. Both were inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.


Rocky died earlier this year at the age of 75.
